<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks what would be the current stock price.

<h3>Answer: D). $33.50</h3>

In order to find the solution to your question, we're going to need to find how much growth the stock made in 3 years, and see how much it grew by 6% after the 3 years. WE also need to calculate the "rs" into the stock price.

Lets solve:

D = Dividend

(Numbers next to D) = Years

D0 = 1.25\\\\ \text {We would multiply 1.25 by 1.15}\\D1 = 1.25*1.15 = 1.44\\\\D2 = 1.44*1.15 = 1.66\\\\D3 = 1.66*1.15 = 1.91\\\\ \text {We would now multiply by 1.06}\\\\D4 = 1.91*1.06 = 2.02\\\\\text {Price of stock at end of Year 3} = (2.02)/(.11-.06) = 40.40\\\\\text {Current Price of the stock} = \\1.44/1.11 + 1.66/(1.11^2) + (1.91+40.40)/(1.11^3) = 33.58

Once you're done solving, you should get 33.58. Since it's not an answer choice, we'll just choose the one that's close to it.

Therefore, you should get the answer D). $33.50

Answer choice D). $33.50 should be your FINAL answer.

<h3>I hope this helps!</h3><h3>Best regards, MasterInvestor</h3>

notka56 [123]

Answer: 57,550 units

Explanation:

When using the weighted average method, the units completed and transferred out are assumed to include the opening inventory.

The weighted average equivalent units are therefore:

= Units completed and transferred out + Equivalent ending units

= 57,000 + (10% * 5,500)

= 57,000 + 550

= 57,550 units

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is b) a Ponzi scheme.

Explanation:

The Ponzi Scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that involves paying investors interest obtained from the money of new investors (and not from the generation of genuine profits). It is a pyramidal system, in which the only way to share benefits requires that participants recommend and capture (refer) to more clients with the objective that new participants produce benefits to primary participants.

This system does not invest in financial or other instruments, it only redistributes money from some investors to others, so the system works only if the number of investors in the pyramid continually grows; once people stop entering the "business", the scammer is prevented from fulfilling his promise and the pyramid collapses

The equivalent units of of materials in September = 62,400 units

Explanation:

<em>Equivalent units are useful to apportion cost between work in progress and completed units. They are notional whole units which represent incomplete work</em>

Equivalent Units = Degree of work completed (%) × inventory units

Items                        units            workings           Equivalent units

Completed unit        58,500      58,500× 100%  =     58,500

Closing WIP              6,500        6,500 × 3/5   =       <u>3,900</u>

Total equivalent units of materials                            <u>62,400.</u>

The equivalent units of of materials in September = 62,400 units
